Backlink profile · manual + public-source scan v1

Narrow but high-quality. Volume is the problem.

Oleo has a small backlink profile, dominated by trade-press and industry-body mentions. Estimated DR mid-teens to low-twenties. The good news: every confirmed referring domain is high-trust (Bedrocan, CIC, IMT, Cannabis Health News, Business of Cannabis, Prohibition Partners). The bad news: the volume is too thin to anchor AI citation independently. Trade-press push + Wikipedia neutral edits + clinical / advocacy partnerships fix it inside 90 days.

Caveat: v1 numbers are estimates from public-source confirmation. A full DataForSEO Backlinks API run (100 most-recent + 100 highest-authority + anchor-text histogram + competitor gap) costs ~$0.10 and tightens these to 95% confidence. We recommend running it as part of Option A scoping.

Brand-anchor heavy distribution. Healthy for a brand-first business. Topical anchors are too thin - new contributed editorial should aim for natural topical phrasing ("HPRA-authorised MCAP supplier", "Bedrocan distributor in Ireland") to lift topical authority for AI citation.

Expected outcome by day 90: 12-22 new high-authority referring domains. Estimated DR shift +6 to +10 points (from ~17 to ~23-27). Combined with the schema + content rollout, sufficient to flip AI citation patterns on at least 5 of the 20 priority Irish queries.
What we will not do

The medical-cannabis category is heavily scrutinised.

Off-table

  • No paid link buying. Penalties + AI engine downweight.
  • No PBNs or low-quality directory submissions
  • No exchange of links with recreational cannabis sites (regulatory contamination)
  • No links from sites that promote off-label cannabis use
  • No anchor-text manipulation toward target keywords

On-table

  • Earned media via contributed editorial + founder PR
  • Industry-body memberships (CIC continued, IPA if relevant)
  • Academic / research collaboration where suitable
  • Patient-advocacy partnerships (unbranded education)
  • Wikipedia / Wikidata neutral entity work
  • HCP body relationships (CPD content)
